Basically do i buy the same make and model of tyre front and back or put on slight dif tyre on the rear.

I was thinking of the tyre size is going to be the same for both groups here goes.

Toyo Proxes T1 Sport; rear 265 35 18 £142.00 and front 235 40 18 £123.00 or

Yokohma Advan Sport V103 rear 265 35 18 £156.00 Toyo proxes C18; 235 40 18 front £123.00

Basically i was thinking rather than a good all round i was thinking a really good tyre up frount and some reall good but pos better sticker tyres at the rear.Any ideas on that please.

I have the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport all round 265 35 18's rear and 235 40 18's front and the grip is very good,

what size wheels are you running????

275/35/19 rear, 255/35/19 front.

but they are a little big. never bothered me about being all same brand, as long as they are directional they will be fine.

I dont know but before i had them refurbed and painted thats what size that was on them.

275/35/19 rear, 255/35/19 front.

that dont bother me i was just trying to see if there were any advantage for going a bit stickyer at the back but didnt want to upset the cars handling in any way.

I can't see an issue having different tyres front to rear - although I have always been lead to believe that it is best to have the same make/tread pattern tyres on the same axle..!

 

If I was buying a set of 4 tyres myself then, for what it's worth, I'd stick with the same brand/type all round. But that's just me....LOL

so no diavantage then but pretty much what i thought and thanks

I have zOCD, my tyres are all the same brand/model!

thanks and done just ordered toyo proxes t1 sport for all round 235 35 18 f 265 35 18 r.

You certainly should be matching the tyres to the same axle.

goes without saying

The profile of the front tyres should be 40 otherwise the tyre walls will be different sizes. To confirm you need:

 

Front 235/40-18

Rear 265/35-18
